Quote from: MacGuffin
Sirk On Sirk
I need no longer wonder what book to buy next...
I've read Scorsese on Scorsese, enjoyed it, but also felt he talked so much and so general he could act as his own biographer of getting the fact details instead of the major insight into emotion. I have Kieslowski on Kieslowski on order now and am very much looking forward to that. I;m starting to get majorly into John Sayles and am thinking of getting Sayles on Sayles next.

Schrader On Schrader is the best __ on __ book I've ever read.
For the youngins:
These books are becoming increasingly obscure but are still some of the best first-hand accounts of the director's process available apart from the Conversations with Filmmakers (https://www.upress.state.ms.us/Series/C/Conversations-with-Filmmakers-Series/(sort_by)/published) series

Love these, the Cronenberg, Schrader and Herzog ones are three of my most prized books. The Herzog book in particular is more enjoyable than almost all of his movies.
Yep. The Cassavetes, Leigh, Altman, Allen, Sayles and Scorsese I can personally vouch for, too.
Hmm, interestingly these are not readily available on either z-library or libgen so they are quite rare and possibly only available used at the moment, blerg!
